Harsh picks by the ku sports staff. I feel like the team we have has a chance to really come together and compete at a high level. The staff is figuring out more about the team with each game, i say ku comes in and puts up big offensive numbers and wins the game in a shootout.

I select the games each week. And I pick them by looking at what the closest spreads are in a given week. I don't think it's much fun to pick Alabama-Florida because everyone is going to pick Alabama (7-8.5 point favorites).

Don't really have a good take on this team yet. But in no way do I put any of this on
Turner Gill. You do not rebuild a crumbling program overnight. I may not agree with
some of his ideas, but I am willing to give him a chance. All you people wanting him
out, would you like to have your jobs judged as quickly. I see many positive things
in his way of coaching. I liked M. Mangino, thought he was very important to this
program. But what he used for motivation was wrong. And he lost his team last year.
There was no excuse for 7 in a row.
I look at recruits coming in, and the quality of the players we have, and I see very
positive things ahead for KU. If in two years we are still struggling, to try to play 500
football. I will agree he needs to go. But until he has a chance to coach his own
recruits, judging him is unfair.
If Kansas wins at Baylor, everyone will change their tune again. I for one am willing
to see what happens in the big picture, not week by week.

I get why ND. There once was some mystique about ND, but they have a worse record than us, a higher paid head coach than us, more prestige than us.......

Personally, i think it's because someone wants to claim an Easy W.

Bama v. Florida SHOULD be 'Bama because without Tim Tebow's tears the FLorida Offense just don't run as smoothly.

As for Kansas Versus Baylor, Since when did we just bow down because a team has a mobile option Quarterback with a questionable Arm ? If those of us remember clearly the last team we lost to Baylor in Waco, we were up 35-3. We lost because Baylor's Coach could make halftime adjustments, and our Stalin was convinced we could just run the clock out on them. We lost 36-35.

Massive egos cost this team dearly 4 years ago. Not the players on the field. While I don't suspect this will be an easy win by any means, I think the Better coaching in our case will greatly improve the chance of more postiive outcome, per se.

Unfortunately, due to Pick's injury I don't think we will be playing with a complete playbook tomorrow, as Gill will not want to risk injury to Webb. Thus, the read option might be a little more predictable for the Baylor defense. I remain hopeful that we can pull out a win, but it will require winning the turnover battle, shoring up special teams, and containing Griffin.

I think OU will beat Texas. TT might have some problems with ISU at Ames. I think Stanford will beat Oregon and Notre Dame will beat BC. Georgia is down this year so CU has a chance but I think Georgia will win.

It's clear that all the LJW staff are trying to be analysts, and not Jayhawk fans. Not one of you guys has KU winning against a lower tier Big 12 team?? Loyalty and optimism, you should try finding some!!!

Not one JW staff member to pick the Hawks. I did not know that Baylor is that good. And no, I don't think we are that bad. We are improving each day as our QB Webb gains experience and our players adjust to the new coaching staff. Torbush will come up with the scheme and the players will execute it to minimize Griffin's effectiveness. Gill will get his first road victory as the KU head man on Saturday.

Baylor is NOT the worst team in the conference this year. Unfortunately so far, ku is clearly the bottom feeder. CU and ISU have a long way to fall for ku to have any hope this season (of not being the worst in B12).
